  1. I agree totally with you but I was not sure if you were being Sarcastic or not. Joey Barton did not deserve all the criticism he got in my eyes. I also think Rangers treated him very poorly. He should have had a set ban and not one made up as we went along. I can only imagine Warburton wanted an apology and Barton was not prepared to give it. I can think of no other reason for such a modus operandi.

     

    I don't think there's much imagination required Pete. About 5 minutes after being sent home he was on twitter sniggering about it.

    Imo he determined the length of rope needed to hang himself.

  2. Apologies for going off topic, but wasn't that season just magnificent.

     

    Celtic imploding right, left and centre, unable to go a week without making total arses of themselves on and/or off the pitch.

     

    Monkey Heid saying "we'll take it on the chin" after every defeat.

     

    The Reporting Scotland special when Jobbie Keane signed, and the defeat to Kilmarnock in his first game to finish the league.

     

    The 4-0 defeat to St Mirren.

     

    Lennon's arrival and the Ross County semi defeat.

     

    The referee strike and the weekly screeching for "clarification".

     

    Our form during Winter, with Boyd breaking Larsson's record.

     

    Edu 94th minute.

     

    :seal:

     

    The Ross County one was a cracker. Me and 4 mates got a train down to Greenock and were in the Jimmy Watt pubs beer garden when a like-minded guy pissing himself laughing came out and updated us on the score.

    Edu's winner saw a guy who sat 3 along from me in the Main Stand front and who'd never spoken to me, grab me and nearly send me over the edge into the enclosure.

     

    :yesrfc:

  3. Never mind the guy spouting racist or any other ist garbage, what qualifies McKay to be a performance director ?

    He was so good he was picked 5 times by his country and that was only through desperation as there was nobody else available at the time.

    Have the SFA learned nothing from our constantly plummeting status ?

  4. Regardless of what you say the safety of the whole stand & it's roof looks questionable to me with or without these 'supports' or whatever you want to call them.

    And these people think our ground is unsafe ?

     

    I couldn't agree more Rab. They tend to forget the number of matches delayed because their roof was either falling to bits or ready to take off.

  5. Think you'll find supports are used to hold something UP not DOWN. Otherwise they wouldn't be supports would they ?

     

    The supports are there to stop the whole stand from blowing away Rab. If the wind got under it, it would take the roof off. Because the roof is attached to the stand structure the lot would disappear like a kite. When there are punters sitting in the seats the centre of gravity is lowered and stops the stand structure from taking off. From the original design they inserted additional ties to hold the roof on to the structure to prevent it breaking off completely. But no doubts it's the punters holding the whole thing down.

    Technically you are both correct - the supports hold the roof onto the stand. They are both holding it up and holding it down from blowing away.

  6. Re the manks turning up at Ibrox wearing green safety hats - I'd hope the hats are taken off them at the turnstile. There is legislation in place covering items which could injure if thrown.

    Let them buy hats or break into building sites to steal them if they want but they should not be allowed into the ground.

  7. This is a perfect example of someone posting something and not explaining what it is about. I also had no idea before Boabie posted that article. The message on the website from them is also flawed in that I read well into the article and only read about the legal system in England and Scotland. Having read so much I got bored and gave up on reading it without having a clue what the website is about. Animal abuse should have jumped out at me from the start. What can I give a shit about the legal system in England and Scotland. I don't suppose any of them will read this but they really want to get their message across in a far better way.

     

    The initial post was regarding the article below the one about Scots and English law Pete.

  8. Whatever you think of Doncaster, this is not good news at all for Scottish Football.

     

    Probably. But the amateurs at the SFA have nobody but themselves to blame. Scottish football has been going down the toilet for umpteen years. Every 10 years or so, after yet another failure, they bring in some experts and set up another enquiry to find out why we're so crap. Most of those never see the light of day and those that do are never acted on properly. No wonder Scotland has become a nation of no-marks in world football and it's hardly surprising we're not worthy of a seat at any table.

    A prime example of our heid-yins at work would be Rangers at Manchester. Instead of looking to assist our club, barriers were placed in our path.
